Event Phone: 612-222-0023 Family mediation gives people who are separated or divorcing a creative alternative to the family courts for making decisions. Mediation is a cooperative and constructive way to resolve differences and plan for the future. Minnesota District Court requires that alternatives to court be considered early in the dissolution process. Certified family mediation skills training with expert trainer and experienced practitioner Karen Irvin, PhD, LMFT, provides the opportunity to become a qualified family facilitative neutral under the General Rules of Practice for the District Courts Rule 114. Parenting Time Expeditors and Parenting Consultants (called “Parenting Coordinators” in other states) are used in cases where parents have a lot of conflict about parenting arrangements to reduce the harm that on-going conflict causes to the children. Karen Irvin, PhD, LMFT, and Andrea Niemi, JD, experienced family ADR practitioners, will walk training participants through the steps necessary to become a Parenting Time Expeditor and Parenting Consultant for families in conflict. Gain clarification and understanding of the Parenting Time Expeditor and Parenting Consultant family neutral roles.
